Somy’s post

Somy Ali called Salim Khan a “father figure” and said that her heart sank hearing the news of his hospitalization. “Hearing that Salim Khan has been hospitalized made my heart sink. To the world, he is a legendary writer who helped shape icons like Amitabh Bachchan and co-created masterpieces like Sholay. To me, he was a father figure,” she wrote.

Somy spoke about how she stayed at his home, was treated like his daughter and had deep conversations on faith and religion. “Living in his home, I was treated like a daughter, included at the table, engaged in deep conversations about faith, where all religions were respected and celebrated. He taught me that God is bigger than doctrine and that storytelling must always carry truth beneath the drama,” she wrote.

What the doctors have said

“His brilliance built cinematic history. His humanity built people. Praying for his strength and recovery. He means more to me than words can say,” she concluded the post saying. “He has undergone surgery and is now kept on a ventilator. His condition is stable now. At 11am on Wednesday, we will issue a press bulletin with the consent of the family and relatives,” an Indian Express report quoted a doctor saying.
